Kenmore Elite 79572052110 refrigerator Parts

A bottom mount refrigerator (also called a bottom freezer refrigerator) keeps the fresh-food compartment on top at eye level and places the freezer drawer on the bottom. On Kenmore Elite model 79572052110, this layout makes everyday refrigerated items easier to reach while frozen foods stay stored below.

How a bottom mount design is laid out

Most bottom mount units, including the 795.7205* series covered in the 79572052110 owner's manual, are organized like this:

• Top section: refrigerator compartment (shelves, crisper drawers, door bins)
• Bottom section: pullout freezer drawer (often with bins or dividers)
• Common features: water filter, air filter, and an ice compartment depending on configuration

Why people choose a bottom mount refrigerator

This style is popular because it matches how most households use a refrigerator day to day.

• Puts fresh foods at a comfortable height (less bending)
• Gives a wide refrigerator space for platters and groceries
• Freezer drawer can hold bulky frozen items more easily than a narrow top freezer
• Often includes better organization with pullout baskets and dividers

Bottom mount vs. top freezer: quick comparison

Feature	Bottom mount (bottom freezer)	Top freezer

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572052110, dH (or Er dH) indicates a defrost heater problem. The refrigerator is detecting that the defrost system is not warming the evaporator as expected, which can lead to frost buildup and poor cooling.

What to check first (safe, no-tools steps)

• Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator (or turn off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Look for symptoms: Heavy frost on the freezer back wall, warmer fresh food section, or reduced airflow.
• Confirm doors are sealing: A leaking door gasket can cause excess frost that triggers defrost issues.
• Make sure vents are clear: Do not block return vents with food packages.
• Check for recent power interruptions: A surge or outage can cause temporary control glitches (see the troubleshooting section in the 79572052110 owner's manual).

What “dH” usually points to in the defrost system

In most Kenmore 795-series bottom-mount refrigerators, dH relates to one of these areas:

Defrost-related item	What it does	What happens when it fails
Defrost heater circuit	Melts frost off the evaporator	Frost builds up, airflow drops, temps rise
Defrost sensor/thermistor	Tells the control when the coil is cold or warmed	Defrost may not start or may end too soon
Main control board	Sends power and timing for defrost	Heater may not energize even if heater is good

Parts that are commonly involved on this model

If troubleshooting points to a sensor or control issue, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005R (defrost temperature sensing)
• Refrigerator power control board EBR75234703 (controls defrost operation)

Why it matters

A defrost heater fault is not just an “ice problem”; it can restrict airflow across the evaporator, making the refrigerator run longer, warm up in the fresh food section, and eventually stop cooling properly.

To adjust the height on your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572052110, we level the cabinet using the two front leveling legs, then fine-tune door height at the bottom hinges if the door gap is uneven. This helps the refrigerator sit steady and lets the doors close smoothly.

Level the refrigerator (front height and tilt)

Use an 11/16-inch wrench or a flat-blade screwdriver, as shown in the 79572052110 owner’s manual.

• Unplug the refrigerator, then pull it forward enough to access the front leveling legs.
• Turn a leveling leg left to raise that side; turn it right to lower that side.
• Have someone push backward against the top front of the refrigerator to take weight off the legs (adjustments turn easier).
• Recheck stability and door closing; if doors do not close easily, raise the front slightly so the cabinet tilts a bit to the rear.
• Turn both leveling legs the same amount when adjusting front-to-back tilt.

Align the doors (if the tops are uneven)

If the space between the two fresh food doors is uneven, adjust the door height at the bottom hinge.

• Locate the adjustable nut on the bottom hinge of the door that needs height correction.
• Turn the nut right to raise the door.
• Turn the nut left to lower the door.

Quick direction guide

What you want to change	What to turn	Direction
Raise left or right front corner	Front leveling leg	Left
Lower left or right front corner	Front leveling leg	Right
Raise a refrigerator door	Bottom hinge nut	Right
Lower a refrigerator door	Bottom hinge nut	Left

Why it matters

Proper leveling reduces rocking, improves door sealing, and helps temperatures stay consistent. A slight rearward tilt also helps the doors close fully, which protects food and reduces frost and moisture issues.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator like model 79572052110 typically lasts 10 to 15 years. Lifespan depends most on compressor health, clean airflow through the condenser area, and consistent temperatures; good maintenance often pushes service life toward the upper end of that range.

What affects lifespan the most

• Condenser cleanliness: Dust buildup makes the compressor run hotter and longer.
• Door seal condition: Air leaks cause longer run times and frost issues.
• Stable temperatures: Frequent warm-ups (overloading, door left open) add wear.
• Water and ice system upkeep: Clogged filters can reduce flow and strain valves.
• Power events: Repeated outages or surges can stress controls and the compressor.

Maintenance that helps you reach 15 years

Use the schedule below as a practical baseline for Kenmore bottom-mount units.

Task	How often	What it prevents
Vacuum/brush condenser area	Every 6 to 12 months	Overheating, long run times
Replace water filter	About every 6 months	Slow dispenser, weak ice production
Replace air filter (if equipped)	About every 6 months	Odors, stale air
Check/clean door gaskets	Every 3 months	Frost, temperature swings

For model-specific care and cleaning guidance, follow the 79572052110 owner’s manual.

Parts that commonly drive “end of life” decisions

When a refrigerator approaches the 10 to 15 year mark, these repairs are the ones that most often determine whether it is worth fixing:

• Compressor (major sealed-system component)
• Control board and sensors
• Evaporator or condenser issues
• Ice maker and dispenser drive components

If you are troubleshooting water taste or low flow, replacing the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 on schedule helps protect the dispenser and ice maker system.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer than normal to hold temperature uses more energy and wears key components faster. Simple upkeep (filters, airflow, door sealing) reduces run time and helps your Kenmore Elite 79572052110 reach its expected lifespan.

Common problems on Kenmore Elite model 79572052110 include weak or no cooling, ice maker or water dispenser trouble, water leaks, and unusual noises. Most issues trace back to airflow restrictions, dirty condenser areas, defrost system faults, or wear items like filters and door sealing surfaces; our 79572052110 owner’s manual troubleshooting section helps pinpoint the cause.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: blocked vents, frost buildup on the evaporator, or a failing sealed-system component
• Ice maker not making ice: restricted water supply, clogged water filter, or ice maker module problems
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged/iced defrost drain, loose water line connections, or cracked tubing
• Noisy operation: condenser fan area debris, evaporator frost contact, or a worn motor
• Bad taste/odor in water or ice: overdue water filter replacement

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm the doors close fully and nothing blocks interior air vents.
2. Set temperatures to normal targets and allow 24 hours for stabilization after changes.
3. Clean dust from the condenser area (unplug first).
4. If the ice maker is slow, replace the water filter and flush several gallons.
5. If you had a power interruption, restore power and let the unit run; then use the manual’s “Power interruptions” guidance.
